Affirmative action matters

We take affirmative action very seriously and adhere to the following policies and practices to ensure fairness, objectivity, and equality throughout the search process.

It is the policy and practice of SJG — The Spelman & Johnson Group to assure that no person will be discriminated against or be denied the benefits of any activity, program, or employment process, in whole or in part, in the areas of recruiting, advertising, hiring, upgrading, promoting, transferring, demoting, laying-off, terminating, rehiring, employing, and/or determining rates of pay and other compensations.

It is the policy and practice of SJG not to discriminate against any individual because of the individual's race, age, color, religious creed, gender, marital status, national origin, ancestry, present or past history of mental disorder, mental retardation, sexual orientation, learning or physical disability, including but not limited to blindness, except where any of the above is a bona fide occupational qualification or need.

This policy and practice applies to all persons, particularly those who are members of the protected classes identified as being African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans, American Indians, Women, and the Disabled.

SJG will implement, monitor, and enforce this affirmative action policy statement and program in conjunction with the applicable federal and state laws, regulations, and executive orders.

Once a year, SJG will update this policy in accordance with current procedures. In addition, it is understood that the complete affirmative action program of SJG consists of both this affirmative action policy statement and any equal employment opportunity/affirmative action requirements contained in contracts which we may receive.
